Nitrile (NBR)
Oil-adjacent car and chassis lines. Factory must still confirm Shore A and ID/OD.
Independent bushing sourcing
rubber bushing
Rubber Bushing Sourcing is an independent sourcing partner. We help US buyers write one rubber bushing configuration, quantity and destination so factory wholesale quotes sit on the same line. We do not mould bushings, hold warehouse stock, or sell under a brand appointment.
The buyer still decides which compound form is wanted and which Shore A hardness the supplier must confirm. This desk does not reprint a durometer table, inner-diameter chart, or an ASTM D2000 callout as its own figure.
FKM
Fuel and solvent windows where nitrile swells. Chemical service stays a written ask.
Silicone
Wide temperature asks. Biocompatibility files only if the duty names them.
EPDM
Ozone and weather exposure. Oil duty usually moves the brief off this compound.
REACH — SVHC ask on the quoted compound
RoHS — only if the receiving plant files it
FDA 21 CFR 177 — food-contact duty only
ISO 9001 — supplier system, not this desk
What a factory needs before it can answer a rubber bushing brief
These three desks replace a datasheet portal, a material selector and a CAD library. They are checklists. They are not files this desk publishes.
Document asks
Ask for the current dimensional page that names the quoted bushing, not a plant brochure.
| Ask | Why |
|---|---|
| ID / OD or drawing | Inches or millimetres on the priced item |
| ASTM or equivalent | The method must name the quoted line |
Compound selector questions
Shore A / Shore D hardness (durometer) stays blank until the buyer or factory writes the scale and value.
| Axis | Unit |
|---|---|
| Shore hardness | Shore A unless the factory writes Shore D |
| Compound family | Nitrile, FKM, silicone, EPDM or drawing-based |
Temperature confirmation, not a printed rating
Service temperature in °F or °C is a site figure the buyer writes. This site does not publish a continuous-service table.
| Field | Pairing |
|---|---|
| Service temperature | °F or °C from the installed site |
| Medium | Oil, fuel, ozone, water or named fluid |
Which purchasing requirements separate rubber bushing from neighbouring options
Neighbouring nylon bushing, polyurethane sleeve or a solid rubber pad are other families. Inside this family the buyer still has to pin compound, ID/OD and Shore A confirmation. The columns below are question groups, not published ratings.
| Axis | Nitrile rubber bushing | FKM rubber bushing |
|---|---|---|
| Typical medium ask | Oil and grease on chassis and car lines | Fuels, many solvents, higher chemical duty |
| Hardness | Shore A the supplier must confirm | Shore A the supplier must confirm |
| Temperature figure | Written from the site in °F or °C | Written from the site in °F or °C |
| Document that travels | ASTM D2000 or equivalent on the quoted line | ASTM D2000 or equivalent on the quoted line |
Reviewed rubber bushing inquiry forms
Five option names a buyer can point at. Every rating, certificate, lead time and price remains subject to supplier confirmation. US measured demand for the home term rubber bushing (Volume 1400, KD 3) is recorded in the 2026-07-22 Ahrefs export; that figure is an observation, not a ranking or inquiry forecast.
Files belong to a quoted line
Short names below are asks a buyer can put on a brief. They are not badges Rubber Bushing Sourcing earned. A plant ISO 9001 letter does not replace a lot test.
REACH
SVHC statement on the quoted compound if the duty requires it.
RoHS
Only when the receiving plant files electrical-adjacent goods.
FDA 21 CFR 177
Only when the buyer named a food-contact duty.
ISO 9001
Supplier system file; not a substitute for the dimensional page.
IATF 16949
Automotive plants only, and only if they ask.
ASTM D2000
Method and condition on the quoted configuration.
Send the rubber bushing line as one list
No stock count, no factory appointment, and no percentage against an unnamed market price. Comparison stays on the written axes. Read the request checklist before you send the form.
